Leave it to BTS Blood sweat and tears contains imagery references and quotes from 1 the myth of Icarus 2 Herman Hesse’s Demian 3. Nietsche 4. Carl Jung 5. The god Abraxus 6. Absinthe poisoning 7. Bach’a mass in d minor 8. Buxtehude’s passacaglia in d minor 9. Countless works of related and referential art lol 💜
It's so interesting that you chose this (Blood, Sweat, and Tears) as your first Korean BTS MV to watch - the one that has German in it! And the quotation voiced by RM is from a book (Demian) written by Herman Hesse, a German!! 🤭 The universe has led you well. 💜
Yea thats crazy actually. I read the book like 40 years ago in school... we had to, nobody wanted to, hahaha. I can't really remember it but maybe I'll read it again just to see it with adult eyes.
Believe me, BTS got many Armys to read books we would have never picked on our own 😅 it’s just so amazing to be part of BTS’ universe. Loving your reactions 💜💜💜
@@NeonReactionsPierre I've read the English translation of Hermann Hesse's Book Demian but it was many years ago and I went to re read it recently only to discovered it's missing so am now trying to obtain another copy.
The quote in German that you read aloud is from Nietzsche - his philosophy inspired Hesse's, "Demian," much as Hesse's work later inspired BTS. Also, the organ piece that Yoongi was playing was by Dieterich Buxtehude - the same piece that forms a small motif in the book. The attention to detail in the music video is immaculate.
Pierre you 100 percent need to watch the live perfomances of these songs! BST is do mesmerizing live and Idol and Mic Drop (especially with the dance break) are super hype. BTS live perfomances are so impressive.
The thing i adore most is the pure joy that people first feel when they discover BTS, it once again shows that this is not just some "boy band for teenage girls". Almost everyone can find something for themselves in their music, videos, messages and what they advocate - Selflove, flip off your haters, life gets better, keep dreaming and the most important that you are not alone. Amazing reaction, thank you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
V's shirts, the glasses he wears, rabbit in the moon, the tiger, and everything else, they all are there with some explanation, the details are mindblowing, pls watch the explanation videos by dkdktv, there are many cultural references
And the fact that they only cover half the references ie. mostly the Korean culture related ones but there are soooo many other references relating to comments made to/about them as well, for example all the clothing choices (Suga’s Snow White shirt, V’s tie and glasses, Jungkook’s MVP jersey, etc).
Hi, Pierre! The statue in the first MV is Michaelangelo's "Pieta," of the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of her Son Jesus. His face is not depicted in the MV I believe out of respect, but I also love your interpretation of it not being carved yet. The member shown with this statue also has a mother-related song on this album, and a related storyline angle. It all ties together!
Thank you I can never remember the name either I just know it as the famous statue of Mary holding the body of Jesus after the crucifiction by Michael Angelo.
1:19 the slingshot is a good prop for symbolic purposes of the whole story since BST is more about temptation and revolves around growth, accepting good and evil of oneself (and it's inspired from a book called Demian by Hermann Hesse) 6 members were paired as mentor and student, the older members were the mentors (SUGA, RM and j-hope) while the younger members were the students (Jimin, V and JK) and Jin was the main character, Sinclair... and based on my own understanding, Jimin and JK were represented as Jin or Sinclair's younger self and V was like Demian, which is also one of Sinclair's mentors, but it was kinda also revealed that Demian was Sinclair himself.. Sinclair grew up in a religious family and Demian is like his classmate and always question things outside of the religious teachings, his questions always made Sinclair think and accepts that you can't be 100% good or 100% bad.. that's why I think V is Demian, cause he made Jin see both good and evil in the form of the statue that was also represented as Abraxas, the god of both good and evil 3:37 all green in this music video is like the presentation of the "temptation" 4:16 if you notice the 2 statues behind them were black and white 4:23 the statue is called "Pieta" by Michaelangelo, it's the Virgin Mary holding Jesus after the Crucifixion. it's symbolizes mother which connects to jhope's solo song in this album, and in the book 7:20 so this is my theory cause ARMY always have theory lol.. jhope represents the mentor that teaches Sinclair about all goods, I think it was a woman mentor, she doesn't teach anything that would taint Sinclair's purity so this timestamp, he released the arrow and "shot" V 8:57 so this scene is about a story from the Greek mythology about Icarus who flew too close to the sun. but JK is representing the fall of Icarus. and behind him is a painting of "The Lament for Icarus" actually, when V jumped from the balcony, in front of him was also another painting about Icarus called "Landscape with The Fall of Icarus" 10:09 SUGA represents the mentor who teaches Sinclair organ.. the one he's playing was a piece he promised to play to Sinclair 11:05 Jin kissing the statue is about him accepting the good and evil. 11:50 YES!! that's why everything went chaos after Jin kissed the statue because he accepted the chaos within himself 12:08 AND Demian told Sinclair "The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas." Jin cracking is the bird fighting out of the egg. and that's Blood Sweat and Tears 😅 but there's a lot more symbolism within a lot of the props they use. I was just commenting mostly of the things that caught your attention Idol also needs its own explanation but it's more on the cultural side so I recommend watching an explanation video by a Korean from DKDKTV channel but I'm just gonna comment about the context of some things that I know basically, the entire music video of Idol is their response to hate comments, like "BTS only uses green screen and CGI" so they made this video and made it 10x extra green screen and CGI which is so funny😂 13:43 this one. OK so everytime RM goes live before, he likes to use and play with filters (I think it's cute) but one comment caught his attention one time and it said to not use filter, how it doesn't suit him and all that.. so he said "ok I won't" personally, I like him using filters, it's just him being goofy and it also help breaks this thought from people that he's just only a serious person. he also addressed that people thought that he's a serious person in one of his recent lives, he said he's also a fun person 15:16 I'm not too sure about V's outfit if he got a comment about it, but he did got a comment like RM about the glasses he was wearing.. how it also didn't suit him (bro's so good looking, I don't think he wore anything that doesn't suit him) 15:38 so around the time they released this song, they were blowing up in the west and then they got comments about how they got "Westernized" and forgot about their kpop culture. lol so they got dressed in Hanbok.. it was even more epic when they performed it live in Korean award shows😂 16:51 EXACTLY.. they also use it here in particular because people keep saying they only use autotune lol but BTS using autotune always have its purpose and it's their artistic choice, not because they can't sing 18:49 i heard that traditionally, the fan Jimin was holding was only used by female. Jimin have been a subject to criticism that's he's too feminine because of his androgynous beauty, he had a hard time accepting and showing that side of him but him holding that fan is him accepting and loving himself, and we're so happy and proud of him overall, IDOL is a song about the celebration of loving oneself. it's a part of the trilogy album that takes you to a journey of loving yourself.. and those albums helped a lot of ARMYs
You have to see and hear Mic Drop live from their Busan 2022 Yet To Come Concert a free concert btw that was live steamed worldwide and onto the beach of Busan from the stadium. They have the live band on the back of the stage with them. The swag was out of this world but they didn't put the extra long dance break into it as they went straight into Run BTS.
Blood, Sweat and Tears references "Demian" by Hermann Hesse (as does the whole Wings album). The quote RM reads is from that book. It's all about temptation and growing up. There are tons of Easter eggs in that video. (Ich könnte einen Roman darüber schreiben, aber das lasse ich mal lieber 😅) The German quote on the wall you read is by Nietzsche. The video for Idol is so over the top, because they purposely did everything they got (unjustified) criticism for before, like usage of CGI, being not Korean enough and so on and turned it up to 1000% 😅 Also... Your frequent mention of Europop.. I didn't even consider that, but now I can hear it as well. Eurodance especially was my youth jam 💃🏻
Blood sweat and tears has a lot of meaning and it ls part of the lore, I suggest watching an explanation video in fact all of their songs required explanations lol
Mic drop is my first music video watched from them! 🤣 Oh boy.. this is a nice reaction 💜 RM UNICEF SPEECH opened the doors for me Mic Drop welcomed me in Black Swan slammed the door RUN BTS(their variety show) freaking locked me in Now I'm stuck in this bangtan shit for life and I'm not complaining 🤣
71 year old BTS Army here. You are awesome dude! Thank you for one of the best reactions IMO. Keep going down the rabbithole. I am here for it!!! 🫰🏻💜🫰🏻
Wow! This was a real pleasure to watch. Your genuine delight in the music and MVs was awesome. Never worry about rewinding and replaying - it shows how much you are enjoying it. Can’t wait for more.
Love your enthusiasm for discovering BTS. I hope you like them and react to a lot of content since there definitely is a lot to choose from:) Pause and go back as much as you want, ARMYs will watch BTS content regardless of length as long as it's genuine and respectful. My impression was that you liked Mic Drop a lot so I highly recommend that you watch it live(a good version is from the "Yet To Come" concert in Busan) and their dance practice(the choreo is great and they do it to the original, not the remix).
It’s simply eargasmic when V comes into his parts in Blood Sweat and Tears it’s so pleasing to listen to (you definitely have to watch the live performances of this song to truly appreciate it) & I also love RM & Hobi’s parts in Blood Sweat and Tears too they sound soooooo good!! Idol is my go to hype song I never get sick of it especially the rap parts and the chorus! Mic drop was truly a huge song for BTS and it’s soooo much better live tho this MV is great too, the rapline absolutely slays and the choreo hits so hard 🔥🔥 love your reactions looking forward to more and hopefully some live performances! 🤞🏻 besides the live performances you also definitely need to check out Fire, Black Swan, Not Today, and On 💯🔥💜
15:11 That's because they've packed the MV with things they've been criticised for like specific clothing items, being too pale (Suga's Snow White shirt), playing with filters during live streams, "Jin has ugly knees" = trousers highlighting his knees, etc., etc. In V's case right here it's his two-toned hair, the white glasses and the shirt with hearts. You should check out the explanations for this one by DKDKTV *and* by XCeleste. The first concentrates on the lyrics and all the cultural references, the latter on the grouprelated references like clothing etc. There's so so much to this MV. 😅 You really dove in at the deep end with BS&T and Idol in the same reaction - those are probably two of their most complex MVs ever (*). 😅 BS&T is centered around the german novel Demian by Herman Hesse, a litterary classic about growing up and facing temptation, choices and consequences. *Everything* in the MV has a meaning; every single piece of art, the classical piece Suga was playing, the quote from the book by RM, theí german quote you read out loud, the huge statue of the greek god Abraxus, literally EVERYTHING. (The statue behind J-Hope that you mentioned is Michelangelo's famous sculpture 'Pieta' which depicts Virgin Mary with the dead body of her son Jesus after his crucifixion before he was placed in his tomb. However in the MV, as you rightly pointed out, his head hasn't been finished; he hasn't finished his development yet.) This is one of the MVs related to their extremely complex and absolutely brilliant ongoing storyline. (*) Spring Day is on a whooole other level though. For that one the explanation video by Italian ARMY "What You Still Don't Know About Spring Day" is an *absolute must.* There's a reason why this song is on its seventh year of non-stop charting in South Korea. (Trigger warning for the highly emotional explanation video though! 😢) 💜
Recomendations since you liked mic drop: Ddaeng AND the cyphers - all this songs are from the rap team :) (unfortunaly there's no mv, but the live performances are amazing!) There's FIRE, Black Swan and ON wich I think you'll like it!
Blood Sweat & Tears was the song and music video that pushed BTS to becoming the phenomenon we know today. People saw that and it was like chaos errupted in the music industry. Like a damn earthquake.
I still believe it is the best mv of all time (up till IU's Love Wins All - I'm still shook over that). They raised the bar on what an mv could be (they raised the bar on what groups like Vixx had done with their storytelling) - the song is amazing, the storytelling is unsurpassed and the way it ties into the whole BTS storyline. There's no doubt it was also the most anticipated mv in Kpop history.
How attentive you are ! Your face is so expressive. I m so glad you enjoy this journey so far. Also i really like how you can recognize V's voice each time so it means you were trully enjoying V's songs and that you really paid attention. You didn't Fake it all 💜 (too many reactors after hearing many of their songs still can't recognise their voice, they just do it for views) Ty 💜
Thank you very much.... I've been a musician myself for 40 years singing and playing the guitar (acoustic and electric) so I guess I have a somewhat experienced ear when it comes to some things. I've recorded and have helped in a few mixing sessions/producing myself and led a local choir for two or three seasons arranging pop songs to fit the acapella choir... just a little background info :) V really has a special voice. And I am thankful that Danielle from NewJeans covered his song "Rainy Days" ... thats how I was introduced to V. Before August of last year I was only listenting to female kpop. Then I got into SKZ and Exo and a few others.... and now BTS.
@@NeonReactionsPierreyou immediately caught why Mic Drop ends the way it does - it takes people by surprise and lots of folks don't get it, or at least don't get it right away. I was like you - I laughed with delight at the cleverness of it. But I already knew BTS at that point... I was used to their playfulness and I knew how deliberately every choice is. You got there when you just met them for the first time. I'm impressed 😁
I sincerely love hearing your thoughts, it's quite refreshing. Some reactors would exaggerate reaction without even explaining what they love and why. 😅 Please do more BTS vids, they have so many beautiful songs I am so excited for you to listen to them! And their live performances, as always, are top tier. The best! 💜
Thank you very much, Maybe I see things differently here and there because I have been a musician for 40 years myself playing guitar and singing.... glad you like it
Idol in concert was a literal party. I got to go to their Sofi concerts in Los Angeles, CA, a couple years ago, and during Idol people said the upper levels were shaking because the entire stadium was jumping. Can’t wait for you to watch their live performances. BTS live is unmatched.
-Seeing them perform said song ....in Concert. As An Og Army who discovered them since 2026. If you want to see THE BEST CONCERT EVER. Took place in Bazil/S.America. Research it. Any n all vids to this day.....was taken from BRAZIL.......back then. BTS all said "We Plan to return there. ARMY was off the charts". Army?? went HARD!!
Because of the German, I'd love to see your reaction to Jimin's solo song Set Me Free pt 2 (assuming you haven't done it yet, I'll look!). I'm pretty sure you'll love it for a variety of reasons. The video is really something special. 😁
These 3 songs and mvs are completely different. It's good to see the boys' versatility, they can do any style very well. When i became an army i was obsessed with mic drop and black swan.
I can't wait for you to see more rapline stuff there are some really fun moments ahead and I have a feeling you would really like the rapline stuff. Idol live is SUCH a party song! when i first heard it I thought it was ok, but when I saw it in concert i felt like i was going to have a heart attack the energy in the stadium was wild! Idol live is just a whole different beast and for concerts they have done some very cool remixes too that I really wish we could have somewhere to stream. Mic Drop also has a super hyped up angry energy live that is so epic. tbh sometimes people react to a single song from a concert live and I understand why as reactors, but nothing beats the experience of watching the full concert through to see how they carry the energy through the whole show it is just so great. I remember you said you didn't care for high voices so reacting to blood sweat and tears early on was interesting! but it is such a high quality, captivating, acid trip of a video i am not surprised you enjoyed it! it's one of my very favorite bts songs...but there are so many I love, I am never bored with them there is such a big variety of content and it has been so much fun being army.
Thanks Nina, yea I am totally excited about this journey... Its always nice getting into new music, and sometimes out of your comfort zone just to discover new gems...
The live performances of "Mic Drop" are fire, especially at the 2018 MAMA, their Busan concert, and on SNL. Since you've already seen V's and Jungkook's solo work, I'd love for you to see the other five's solo songs too, so you can get to know their voices even better. Especially the rappers, since they caught your attention during the Taylor's guide, and you really enjoyed "Mic Drop:. My recommendations: * RM - Wild Flower * Jin - The Astronaut * Agust D - Daechwita * J-hope - More * Jimin - Like Crazy
"Idol" and "Blood sweet and Tears" are masterpieces of complexity...there are "explanation" videos because there are a lot of messages to discover...Mic Drop is an essential "Banger"!! You can start your journey with their first albums which will surprise you..."No More Dream...NO..etc. there are so many superb ones!! Don't hesitate to ask questions there will always be one for answer you!! I really like your reactions because they are marked with sincerity and we are starting to feel the desire to know the boys better....they are currently in military service but ARMYs from all over the world are preparing their return!!. Apobangpo ! I am a senior ARMY (67) and I could no longer live without the BTS...like millions of people who have overcome challenges thanks to them. MERCI 💜 💜 💜 💜
I'm glad you are taking your time watching these videos. The statue you were asking about in 'Blood, Sweat, and Tears,' the one in the arrow scene, is called Pieta by Michelangelo.
ON ,butter, permission to dance Fake love, spring day, save me Airplane part 2 ,my universe Boy with love, boy in love, I need u,DNA . they represent bts as a legends 😍 Thank you for your reaction hoping for more upcoming journey borahee 💜💜 You have to see these MVs
Thanks for another great reaction! You picked 3 excellent ones to watch right in a row. I personally think Blood Sweat & Tears is a masterpiece song and video. And Mic Drop is simply amazing. We don’t mind if you pause and/or rewind. I would still watch it all day! Thanks again, hope to see more BTS from you! 😊💜
Nice video!! I love when there are multiple MV's in one video😅 Looking foward to more reactions of yours, I really enjoy hearing your thoughts. If you wanna take suggestions: ON Kinect Manifesto and Black Swan are a MUST! I can wait till you get to listen to some of their B-sides, but take your time on the ride 😊💜
The most of BTS mvs have so many symbolisms and meanings with purposes and nothing is placed just randomly. You mentioned rabbit in the moon. That also has a meaning. You really need to watch explanation videos for you to understand these mvs.
And Jimin's solo piece Set Me Free Part 2 uses a poem by Rilke - in German - written on his neck, chest and torso! And very interesting and creative use of autotune to accentuate the message of the song.
Mic Drop was the first BTS MV and song that I watched and listened to, this song opened the door for me to want to know them more and in 2018 until now I am still an ARMY and will always be an ARMY who always supports BTS forever. I really liked your reaction, so I will subscribe to your channel
18:07 it's true that Idol is like a party song, a celebration song actually. But it is also so much deeper than that. BTS never does things simply. When they release a song, it gets analyzed and explanation videos are released by so non english speakers would understand their cultural references. This is because Namjoon is such a great lyricist that people do take time to delve deeper into their songs. There's an explanation video for both BST and Idol, in case you want to react to them or watch in your private time as an added fyi. DKDTV have such explanation vids. Of course, Army will watch whatever you put out re BTS. 😊
@NeonReactionsPierre thanks for your reactions, I'm discovering that we're neighbors, I'm Swiss. I discovered BTS 4 years ago and I could never have imagined the strength and reflection I've developed by listening to them, reading them and observing them, even at 49. They are examples and they are unique, I've never known such a genuine and beneficial freeze act. I wish you a warm welcome.
Idol really is them coming back at their hater who said they had become too Westernised and is part of the Lover Yourself albums. Hence there are so many Korean reference's both in sound, drums, dance, imagery, even the sun setting, references to Korean myths etc etc. They are bascially saying we are whatever you want to call us we don't care be it Idol or artist, there are many different 'sides' of us and you are not going to make us stop loving ourselves. Also they used a lot of CGI as they don't normal use much CGI in their mv's but they did it just to throw it into the faces of their haters.
You've said :"we' here, in Europe'....'....what ? Despite being so different in believes, religions, etc......WE'VE BEEN GROWN UP TO BE FREE CONCERNING OUR RIGHTS & THOUGHTS ! Yes ! I love Europe and its multiple diversity as ....DIVERSITY AND THE RESPECT OF THE DIVERSITY GIVES OUR... "'POWER IN DIVERSITY"! This is what BTS had been ASKING FOR MORE THEN 10 YEARS AGO !
I love your reactions and how you have so much detail about the scenes in the music video or insights about the song production. What I would love more is for you to pay attention to the lyrics more. I think you are missing a lot if you don't read them. Especially for Idol. But it goes for all 3 songs. BTS has great lyricism and it's a huge part of why they are so loved.
you should watch the live performance of IDOL and MIC DROP the dance break in MIC DROP is really good I would like to suggest SAVE ME and FIRE also for your next songs
Old South Korean beliefs aND traditions ! This is not only fun, but the culture of an Asian country/people !They need 'RESPECT' for bringing upthe culture of Korean culture &civilization !💪🙏💚💜💚💜✌
Love your reactions! Towards the end, I just realized, don't know if it's just a coincidence, but these videos set you up pretty nicely to react to some of their end of year performances for each of these songs which are all AMAZING, if you thought their MVs were good, I can't wait for you to see their live performances because most people will say, and I agree, that they outdo themselves when they do it live
Idol MV u can watch BTS MV IDOL EXPLANATION/ MEANING AND REFERENCES u will surprised unexpected by it..they r very effort creative geniuses in everything thy do..every little thing they planned we cant expect there such meaningful behind
Hi! I loved your reaction. Since other ARMYs already explained Blood, Sweat & Tears, I would like to tell you about IDOL. The song was released when BTS faced criticism for: "excessive use of green screen" and "singing only in English", which are both lies (there are behind-the-scenes videos where you can see the recordings if you are interested in that aspect like BS&T). So, they said: I Love Myself and decided to use a lot of green screen (because they can), use traditional Korean clothes as well as traditional instruments, they also made reference to various Korean dances such as Buchaechum (using a fan) and Pungmul (cartwheels). In addition to the occasional reference to things that the members were criticized for and which they now proudly embrace. (Sorry for my English, it is not my first language.)
You should Watch the explanation videos for many of their songs, so you can understand! Everything has an explanation. Believe us, its a great rabbit hole!!
Hi here a 60 years old Mexican army, liking your reactions, you should watch jimin’s SET ME FREE part 2 video, I think there are some German words on it 💜💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜💜
Here are some recommendations!!🙌 If you are interested in seeing more of the choreography, you should check out some bts dance practices, i love watching them if you wanna start from the very beginning and go in cronological order with their songs, their first two songs are “No More Dream” and “Bulletproof pt.2” and if you wanna get a taste of their earlier songs, you DEFINITELY need to check out “Jump” and “Attack on Bangtan” I hope you have fun traveling down the BTS rabbit hole💜
I am loving your reactions! And I am so glad you are enjoying BTS! And the second MV is a bit strange lol. Idol is sort of a clap back to their haters who said they use a lot of green screen (which they didn’t). They were like, ok, you want green screen? We’ll give you green screen. 🤣 They also filled it with cultural references because people were saying they were becoming too westernized. The Rabbit in the Moon is a Korean folklore. 🙂
Recommendations for future videos: Black Swan On Boy with luv feat Halsey Fake Love Not today Fire Dope Cypher 1, 2, 3 and 4 (rap line) Ddaeng (rap line) Ugh (rap line) House of cards (vocal line) The truth untold (vocal line)
Great hits, the 3 songs. So different each one. It is true they are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get. Lots of references to Damian (The book by Hermann Hesse) in blood, sweat and tears.
Being a german we had to read that in school... but that was like 40 years ago.... I do have a big bookshelf behind me but haven't touched Hesse in many years..... maybe I should read that again...
@@NeonReactionsPierre indeed Hesse wrote some great stuff for young people. Fun fact: my mother owned a school (highschool) and it was called Hermann Hesse and the logo was a wolf, hahha. Great memories
Yes we do I'm also in Europe so the room just shout's late18 and early 19 century stately homes of the very rich and lesser royals. That painting in the background I think is called 'The Lamate of Icrus' due to his sin of pride as when he refused to heed his father's order not to fly too close to the sun. So his wings were distroyed by the sun and he crash back to earth.
I loved this reaction! It was so fun to watch!! Especially MIC Drop reminded me of how the first time I watched it and ended up watching it about 20 times straight because of how cool it was.
When I first watched Mic Drop I thought: how can a song be so creative?? It didn't stop too amaze me. I also said to myself: these guys don't do a bad song... I loved it to death, until now.... I always listen to the long version.
Wings album is one of the best in history
The statue on the first video is a reference to Michelangelo's Pieta
AGREE 💜
I love Dark and Wild but wings is amazing of course 💜💜💜
Please do pause as much as you want to, I really enjoy hearing your thoughts! Can't wait for you to discover more and more of BTS :)
No por favor ,habló mucho . Lo cortó mucho
thank you so much for your kind words

Blood sweat and tears contains imagery references and quotes from
1 the myth of Icarus
2 Herman Hesse’s Demian
3. Nietsche
4. Carl Jung
5. The god Abraxus
6. Absinthe poisoning

This is why BST is so epic for me
Great!!! So kind of you to share this information!!! Many baby armys don’t know how deep BTS is 💜💜💜💜💜
I think, just in terms of density, it's the most reference-laden of all their videos. You can go through frame by frame and find soooooo much 😂
And the movie ‘Chatroom’.
@@butterbuttersbetter3689 Hihi
This a film I had never heard and read up on… it sounds extremely grim. Can you explain the connection for me? Thks💜
It's so interesting that you chose this (Blood, Sweat, and Tears) as your first Korean BTS MV to watch - the one that has German in it! And the quotation voiced by RM is from a book (Demian) written by Herman Hesse, a German!! 🤭 The universe has led you well. 💜
Yea thats crazy actually. I read the book like 40 years ago in school... we had to, nobody wanted to, hahaha. I can't really remember it but maybe I'll read it again just to see it with adult eyes.
Believe me, BTS got many Armys to read books we would have never picked on our own 😅 it’s just so amazing to be part of BTS’ universe. Loving your reactions 💜💜💜
@@NeonReactionsPierre I've read the English translation of Hermann Hesse's Book Demian but it was many years ago and I went to re read it recently only to discovered it's missing so am now trying to obtain another copy.
If you have a tablet or an ebook reader try this here :)
www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/Demian-By-Hermann-Hesse.pdf
The quote in German that you read aloud is from Nietzsche - his philosophy inspired Hesse's, "Demian," much as Hesse's work later inspired BTS.
Also, the organ piece that Yoongi was playing was by Dieterich Buxtehude - the same piece that forms a small motif in the book. The attention to detail in the music video is immaculate.
Pierre you 100 percent need to watch the live perfomances of these songs! BST is do mesmerizing live and Idol and Mic Drop (especially with the dance break) are super hype. BTS live perfomances are so impressive.
Lol for Mic Drop they did add like a longer version for an award show, so there’s an amazing drop for a dance break.
The thing i adore most is the pure joy that people first feel when they discover BTS, it once again shows that this is not just some "boy band for teenage girls". Almost everyone can find something for themselves in their music, videos, messages and what they advocate - Selflove, flip off your haters, life gets better, keep dreaming and the most important that you are not alone. Amazing reaction, thank you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
There's anpanman and fake love too! These are some of my favorite songs. the fake love mv is incredible and the anpanman song is super fun!
V's shirts, the glasses he wears, rabbit in the moon, the tiger, and everything else, they all are there with some explanation, the details are mindblowing, pls watch the explanation videos by dkdktv, there are many cultural references
And the fact that they only cover half the references ie. mostly the Korean culture related ones but there are soooo many other references relating to comments made to/about them as well, for example all the clothing choices (Suga’s Snow White shirt, V’s tie and glasses, Jungkook’s MVP jersey, etc).
Pierre, I am loving your reactions! Thoughtful, intelligent and FUN! I purple you 🫶💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I purple you too!!!
Amado qd algum ARMY falar isso pra vc, significa q te adoramos. Eu te roxo 💜💜 também eu te amo
WAIT until you hear BLACK SWAN!! Its an underrated masterpiece
Hi, Pierre! The statue in the first MV is Michaelangelo's "Pieta," of the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of her Son Jesus. His face is not depicted in the MV I believe out of respect, but I also love your interpretation of it not being carved yet. The member shown with this statue also has a mother-related song on this album, and a related storyline angle. It all ties together!
Thats the name of the statue... yes... I forgot what it was called but it seemed so familiar.
Thank you I can never remember the name either I just know it as the famous statue of Mary holding the body of Jesus after the crucifiction by Michael Angelo.
1:19 the slingshot is a good prop for symbolic purposes of the whole story since BST is more about temptation and revolves around growth, accepting good and evil of oneself (and it's inspired from a book called Demian by Hermann Hesse)
6 members were paired as mentor and student, the older members were the mentors (SUGA, RM and j-hope) while the younger members were the students (Jimin, V and JK) and Jin was the main character, Sinclair... and based on my own understanding, Jimin and JK were represented as Jin or Sinclair's younger self and V was like Demian, which is also one of Sinclair's mentors, but it was kinda also revealed that Demian was Sinclair himself.. Sinclair grew up in a religious family and Demian is like his classmate and always question things outside of the religious teachings, his questions always made Sinclair think and accepts that you can't be 100% good or 100% bad.. that's why I think V is Demian, cause he made Jin see both good and evil in the form of the statue that was also represented as Abraxas, the god of both good and evil
3:37 all green in this music video is like the presentation of the "temptation"
4:16 if you notice the 2 statues behind them were black and white
4:23 the statue is called "Pieta" by Michaelangelo, it's the Virgin Mary holding Jesus after the Crucifixion. it's symbolizes mother which connects to jhope's solo song in this album, and in the book
7:20 so this is my theory cause ARMY always have theory lol.. jhope represents the mentor that teaches Sinclair about all goods, I think it was a woman mentor, she doesn't teach anything that would taint Sinclair's purity so this timestamp, he released the arrow and "shot" V
8:57 so this scene is about a story from the Greek mythology about Icarus who flew too close to the sun. but JK is representing the fall of Icarus. and behind him is a painting of "The Lament for Icarus"
actually, when V jumped from the balcony, in front of him was also another painting about Icarus called "Landscape with The Fall of Icarus"
10:09 SUGA represents the mentor who teaches Sinclair organ.. the one he's playing was a piece he promised to play to Sinclair
11:05 Jin kissing the statue is about him accepting the good and evil.
11:50 YES!! that's why everything went chaos after Jin kissed the statue because he accepted the chaos within himself
12:08 AND Demian told Sinclair "The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is
the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas." Jin cracking is the bird fighting out of the egg.
and that's Blood Sweat and Tears 😅 but there's a lot more symbolism within a lot of the props they use. I was just commenting mostly of the things that caught your attention
Idol also needs its own explanation but it's more on the cultural side so I recommend watching an explanation video by a Korean from DKDKTV channel
but I'm just gonna comment about the context of some things that I know
basically, the entire music video of Idol is their response to hate comments, like "BTS only uses green screen and CGI" so they made this video and made it 10x extra green screen and CGI which is so funny😂
13:43 this one. OK so everytime RM goes live before, he likes to use and play with filters (I think it's cute) but one comment caught his attention one time and it said to not use filter, how it doesn't suit him and all that.. so he said "ok I won't"
personally, I like him using filters, it's just him being goofy and it also help breaks this thought from people that he's just only a serious person. he also addressed that people thought that he's a serious person in one of his recent lives, he said he's also a fun person
15:16 I'm not too sure about V's outfit if he got a comment about it, but he did got a comment like RM about the glasses he was wearing.. how it also didn't suit him (bro's so good looking, I don't think he wore anything that doesn't suit him)
15:38 so around the time they released this song, they were blowing up in the west and then they got comments about how they got "Westernized" and forgot about their kpop culture. lol so they got dressed in Hanbok.. it was even more epic when they performed it live in Korean award shows😂
16:51 EXACTLY.. they also use it here in particular because people keep saying they only use autotune lol
but BTS using autotune always have its purpose and it's their artistic choice, not because they can't sing
18:49 i heard that traditionally, the fan Jimin was holding was only used by female. Jimin have been a subject to criticism that's he's too feminine because of his androgynous beauty, he had a hard time accepting and showing that side of him but him holding that fan is him accepting and loving himself, and we're so happy and proud of him
overall, IDOL is a song about the celebration of loving oneself. it's a part of the trilogy album that takes you to a journey of loving yourself.. and those albums helped a lot of ARMYs
I love it when ARMY go into so much details about Bangtan's songs.
@@ladybangtan 😊💜
Nossa! Amei sua explanação! É isso aí mesmo!!!
O bom é que a gente mergulha junto com o Pierre de novo nessa jornada incrível do BTS❤❤
Thank you so much... once again with all the timestamps... love it!
@@NeonReactionsPierre no problem 😊💜
You have to see and hear Mic Drop live from their Busan 2022 Yet To Come Concert a free concert btw that was live steamed worldwide and onto the beach of Busan from the stadium. They have the live band on the back of the stage with them. The swag was out of this world but they didn't put the extra long dance break into it as they went straight into Run BTS.
Blood Sweat and Tears is my 1st encounter of BTS and Jimin made me an Army.
Blood, Sweat and Tears references "Demian" by Hermann Hesse (as does the whole Wings album). The quote RM reads is from that book. It's all about temptation and growing up. There are tons of Easter eggs in that video. (Ich könnte einen Roman darüber schreiben, aber das lasse ich mal lieber 😅)
The German quote on the wall you read is by Nietzsche.
The video for Idol is so over the top, because they purposely did everything they got (unjustified) criticism for before, like usage of CGI, being not Korean enough and so on and turned it up to 1000% 😅
Also... Your frequent mention of Europop.. I didn't even consider that, but now I can hear it as well. Eurodance especially was my youth jam 💃🏻
Being a german kid there was europop all around me back in the days... europop and hair-metal... Loved those days...
Fun fact many BTS songs are EVEN better when they perform it live 😱😱😍. Also there is many concert performances of their B-sides that are epic.
Blood sweat and tears has a lot of meaning and it ls part of the lore, I suggest watching an explanation video in fact all of their songs required explanations lol
Mic drop is my first music video watched from them! 🤣 Oh boy.. this is a nice reaction 💜
RM UNICEF SPEECH opened the doors for me
Mic Drop welcomed me in
Black Swan slammed the door
RUN BTS(their variety show) freaking locked me in
Now I'm stuck in this bangtan shit for life and I'm not complaining 🤣
I love your reactions! They are so thoughtful and peaceful. I hope you enjoy your BTS journey and love them as much as we love them 💜
Thank you so much!!
71 year old BTS Army here. You are awesome dude! Thank you for one of the best reactions IMO. Keep going down the rabbithole. I am here for it!!!
🫰🏻💜🫰🏻
nice to have you here my dear! thank you
Wow! This was a real pleasure to watch. Your genuine delight in the music and MVs was awesome. Never worry about rewinding and replaying - it shows how much you are enjoying it. Can’t wait for more.
I love your reaction. More..more..more plss! 💜
Your name is actually Ragin Freckles.... I just broke down laughing here... that is freaking coooll. 🔥🔥
Mic Drop is just THAT SONG
Love your enthusiasm for discovering BTS.
I hope you like them and react to a lot of content since there definitely is a lot to choose from:)
Pause and go back as much as you want, ARMYs will watch BTS content regardless of length as long as it's genuine and respectful.
My impression was that you liked Mic Drop a lot so I highly recommend that you watch it live(a good version is from the "Yet To Come" concert in Busan) and their dance practice(the choreo is great and they do it to the original, not the remix).
It’s simply eargasmic when V comes into his parts in Blood Sweat and Tears it’s so pleasing to listen to (you definitely have to watch the live performances of this song to truly appreciate it) & I also love RM & Hobi’s parts in Blood Sweat and Tears too they sound soooooo good!! Idol is my go to hype song I never get sick of it especially the rap parts and the chorus! Mic drop was truly a huge song for BTS and it’s soooo much better live tho this MV is great too, the rapline absolutely slays and the choreo hits so hard 🔥🔥 love your reactions looking forward to more and hopefully some live performances! 🤞🏻 besides the live performances you also definitely need to check out Fire, Black Swan, Not Today, and On 💯🔥💜
RM is the main songwriter of micdrop, idol ,fake love and blackswan with 218 other songs credits under his name ,, HE'S GENIUS 🔥🔥🔥
15:11 That's because they've packed the MV with things they've been criticised for like specific clothing items, being too pale (Suga's Snow White shirt), playing with filters during live streams, "Jin has ugly knees" = trousers highlighting his knees, etc., etc. In V's case right here it's his two-toned hair, the white glasses and the shirt with hearts. You should check out the explanations for this one by DKDKTV *and* by XCeleste. The first concentrates on the lyrics and all the cultural references, the latter on the grouprelated references like clothing etc. There's so so much to this MV. 😅
You really dove in at the deep end with BS&T and Idol in the same reaction - those are probably two of their most complex MVs ever (*). 😅 BS&T is centered around the german novel Demian by Herman Hesse, a litterary classic about growing up and facing temptation, choices and consequences. *Everything* in the MV has a meaning; every single piece of art, the classical piece Suga was playing, the quote from the book by RM, theí german quote you read out loud, the huge statue of the greek god Abraxus, literally EVERYTHING. (The statue behind J-Hope that you mentioned is Michelangelo's famous sculpture 'Pieta' which depicts Virgin Mary with the dead body of her son Jesus after his crucifixion before he was placed in his tomb. However in the MV, as you rightly pointed out, his head hasn't been finished; he hasn't finished his development yet.)
This is one of the MVs related to their extremely complex and absolutely brilliant ongoing storyline.
(*) Spring Day is on a whooole other level though. For that one the explanation video by Italian ARMY "What You Still Don't Know About Spring Day" is an *absolute must.* There's a reason why this song is on its seventh year of non-stop charting in South Korea. (Trigger warning for the highly emotional explanation video though! 😢)
💜
Recomendations since you liked mic drop: Ddaeng AND the cyphers - all this songs are from the rap team :) (unfortunaly there's no mv, but the live performances are amazing!) There's FIRE, Black Swan and ON wich I think you'll like it!
Blood Sweat & Tears was the song and music video that pushed BTS to becoming the phenomenon we know today. People saw that and it was like chaos errupted in the music industry. Like a damn earthquake.
I still believe it is the best mv of all time (up till IU's Love Wins All - I'm still shook over that). They raised the bar on what an mv could be (they raised the bar on what groups like Vixx had done with their storytelling) - the song is amazing, the storytelling is unsurpassed and the way it ties into the whole BTS storyline. There's no doubt it was also the most anticipated mv in Kpop history.
How attentive you are ! Your face is so expressive.
I m so glad you enjoy this journey so far. Also i really like how you can recognize V's voice each time so it means you were trully enjoying V's songs and that you really paid attention. You didn't Fake it all 💜 (too many reactors after hearing many of their songs still can't recognise their voice, they just do it for views)
Ty
💜
Thank you very much.... I've been a musician myself for 40 years singing and playing the guitar (acoustic and electric) so I guess I have a somewhat experienced ear when it comes to some things. I've recorded and have helped in a few mixing sessions/producing myself and led a local choir for two or three seasons arranging pop songs to fit the acapella choir... just a little background info :)
V really has a special voice. And I am thankful that Danielle from NewJeans covered his song "Rainy Days" ... thats how I was introduced to V.
Before August of last year I was only listenting to female kpop. Then I got into SKZ and Exo and a few others.... and now BTS.
@@NeonReactionsPierreyou immediately caught why Mic Drop ends the way it does - it takes people by surprise and lots of folks don't get it, or at least don't get it right away. I was like you - I laughed with delight at the cleverness of it. But I already knew BTS at that point... I was used to their playfulness and I knew how deliberately every choice is. You got there when you just met them for the first time. I'm impressed 😁
I sincerely love hearing your thoughts, it's quite refreshing. Some reactors would exaggerate reaction without even explaining what they love and why. 😅 Please do more BTS vids, they have so many beautiful songs I am so excited for you to listen to them! And their live performances, as always, are top tier. The best! 💜
Thank you very much, Maybe I see things differently here and there because I have been a musician for 40 years myself playing guitar and singing.... glad you like it
Idol in concert was a literal party. I got to go to their Sofi concerts in Los Angeles, CA, a couple years ago, and during Idol people said the upper levels were shaking because the entire stadium was jumping. Can’t wait for you to watch their live performances. BTS live is unmatched.
I am thoroughly enjoying watching your reactions to the boys! Thank you 🙏
You have to see some live performances from them, it’s insanity. They’re incredible live!
-Seeing them perform said song ....in Concert. As An Og Army who discovered them since 2026. If you want to see THE BEST CONCERT EVER. Took place in Bazil/S.America. Research it. Any n all vids to this day.....was taken from BRAZIL.......back then. BTS all said "We Plan to return there. ARMY was off the charts". Army?? went HARD!!
Because of the German, I'd love to see your reaction to Jimin's solo song Set Me Free pt 2 (assuming you haven't done it yet, I'll look!).
I'm pretty sure you'll love it for a variety of reasons. The video is really something special. 😁
BTS🔥🔥🔥🔥💜
These 3 songs and mvs are completely different. It's good to see the boys' versatility, they can do any style very well. When i became an army i was obsessed with mic drop and black swan.
Wings album and love your self series is the best album. Welcome to rabbit hole. And every BTS songs has different genre
mic drop live has some dance breaks in it and is much longer!! you would love it
OH boy, and you've barely scrapped the surface!
I can't wait for you to see more rapline stuff there are some really fun moments ahead and I have a feeling you would really like the rapline stuff. Idol live is SUCH a party song! when i first heard it I thought it was ok, but when I saw it in concert i felt like i was going to have a heart attack the energy in the stadium was wild! Idol live is just a whole different beast and for concerts they have done some very cool remixes too that I really wish we could have somewhere to stream. Mic Drop also has a super hyped up angry energy live that is so epic. tbh sometimes people react to a single song from a concert live and I understand why as reactors, but nothing beats the experience of watching the full concert through to see how they carry the energy through the whole show it is just so great. I remember you said you didn't care for high voices so reacting to blood sweat and tears early on was interesting! but it is such a high quality, captivating, acid trip of a video i am not surprised you enjoyed it! it's one of my very favorite bts songs...but there are so many I love, I am never bored with them there is such a big variety of content and it has been so much fun being army.
Thanks Nina, yea I am totally excited about this journey... Its always nice getting into new music, and sometimes out of your comfort zone just to discover new gems...
The live performances of "Mic Drop" are fire, especially at the 2018 MAMA, their Busan concert, and on SNL.
Since you've already seen V's and Jungkook's solo work, I'd love for you to see the other five's solo songs too, so you can get to know their voices even better. Especially the rappers, since they caught your attention during the Taylor's guide, and you really enjoyed "Mic Drop:. My recommendations:
* RM - Wild Flower
* Jin - The Astronaut
* Agust D - Daechwita
* J-hope - More
* Jimin - Like Crazy
Up for this!
thank you for that
" Idol " hecho así , a propósito , dedicado a los que odian ! 😎
"Idol" and "Blood sweet and Tears" are masterpieces of complexity...there are "explanation" videos because there are a lot of messages to discover...Mic Drop is an essential "Banger"!! You can start your journey with their first albums which will surprise you..."No More Dream...NO..etc. there are so many superb ones!! Don't hesitate to ask questions there will always be one for answer you!! I really like your reactions because they are marked with sincerity and we are starting to feel the desire to know the boys better....they are currently in military service but ARMYs from all over the world are preparing their return!!. Apobangpo ! I am a senior ARMY (67) and I could no longer live without the BTS...like millions of people who have overcome challenges thanks to them. MERCI 💜 💜 💜 💜
11:51 wow it is mind blowing !
I love when the viewers knows about something which is hidden in plain sight !
thank you so much :)
17:31 rabbit in the moon: Instead of a man in the moon, Koreans see a rabbit in the moon. So this image is very Korean.
I'm glad you are taking your time watching these videos. The statue you were asking about in 'Blood, Sweat, and Tears,' the one in the arrow scene, is called Pieta by Michelangelo.
Thanku for ur kind reactions for our 7 angels. Such a nice person you are! bts bring so much comfort happiness ( jimin biased here ) 💜

You have to see these MVs
I love that you pay attention to the details. It's fine with going back a lot. I will wait for more bts reaction.
thank yo very much, glad you liked it.
4:30 That's Michelangelo's La Pieta. You can see it when you get a chance to visit St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.
BTS is Legend indeed, apobangpo 💜
Thanks for another great reaction! You picked 3 excellent ones to watch right in a row. I personally think Blood Sweat & Tears is a masterpiece song and video. And Mic Drop is simply amazing. We don’t mind if you pause and/or rewind. I would still watch it all day! Thanks again, hope to see more BTS from you! 😊💜
Thank you for that. Glad you are enjoying your stay here!
Nice video!! I love when there are multiple MV's in one video😅 Looking foward to more reactions of yours, I really enjoy hearing your thoughts. If you wanna take suggestions: ON Kinect Manifesto and Black Swan are a MUST!
I can wait till you get to listen to some of their B-sides, but take your time on the ride 😊💜
Suga is playing Passacaglia in D minor by Buxtehude on the church organ.
Felicitări BTS cei mai talentați frumoși perfecți tare dor de ei ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Had a lot of fun watching you genuinely enjoy mic drop.
thank you
Mic Drop is my favorite! I think you would like Black Swan. Watch the MV version before the live performances, but all are fantastic.
The most of BTS mvs have so many symbolisms and meanings with purposes and nothing is placed just randomly. You mentioned rabbit in the moon. That also has a meaning. You really need to watch explanation videos for you to understand these mvs.
And Jimin's solo piece Set Me Free Part 2 uses a poem by Rilke - in German - written on his neck, chest and torso! And very interesting and creative use of autotune to accentuate the message of the song.
Mic Drop was the first BTS MV and song that I watched and listened to, this song opened the door for me to want to know them more and in 2018 until now I am still an ARMY and will always be an ARMY who always supports BTS forever. I really liked your reaction, so I will subscribe to your channel
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Enjoy your stay :)
Notice J Hope reference's the Korean Film Director John Woo who directed the fast action paced 'Face off staring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage.
ARMY singing Idol with BTS live is amazing!
Jimin won 9 awards not long ago for his solo album and collaboration
18:07 it's true that Idol is like a party song, a celebration song actually. But it is also so much deeper than that. BTS never does things simply. When they release a song, it gets analyzed and explanation videos are released by so non english speakers would understand their cultural references. This is because Namjoon is such a great lyricist that people do take time to delve deeper into their songs. There's an explanation video for both BST and Idol, in case you want to react to them or watch in your private time as an added fyi. DKDTV have such explanation vids. Of course, Army will watch whatever you put out re BTS. 😊
@NeonReactionsPierre thanks for your reactions, I'm discovering that we're neighbors, I'm Swiss. I discovered BTS 4 years ago and I could never have imagined the strength and reflection I've developed by listening to them, reading them and observing them, even at 49. They are examples and they are unique, I've never known such a genuine and beneficial freeze act.
I wish you a warm welcome.
Thank you very much and a warm hello to you too :)
Idol really is them coming back at their hater who said they had become too Westernised and is part of the Lover Yourself albums. Hence there are so many Korean reference's both in sound, drums, dance, imagery, even the sun setting, references to Korean myths etc etc. They are bascially saying we are whatever you want to call us we don't care be it Idol or artist, there are many different 'sides' of us and you are not going to make us stop loving ourselves. Also they used a lot of CGI as they don't normal use much CGI in their mv's but they did it just to throw it into the faces of their haters.
BST was actually a cultural reset, absolutely unique and legendary
You've said :"we' here, in Europe'....'....what ? Despite being so different in believes, religions, etc......WE'VE BEEN GROWN UP TO BE FREE CONCERNING OUR RIGHTS & THOUGHTS ! Yes ! I love Europe and its multiple diversity as ....DIVERSITY AND THE RESPECT OF THE DIVERSITY GIVES OUR... "'POWER IN DIVERSITY"! This is what BTS had been ASKING FOR MORE THEN 10 YEARS AGO !
I love your reactions and how you have so much detail about the scenes in the music video or insights about the song production. What I would love more is for you to pay attention to the lyrics more. I think you are missing a lot if you don't read them. Especially for Idol. But it goes for all 3 songs. BTS has great lyricism and it's a huge part of why they are so loved.
you should watch the live performance of IDOL and MIC DROP the dance break in MIC DROP is really good
I would like to suggest SAVE ME and FIRE also for your next songs
This album Blood Sweat andTears was on was inspired by Demian by Herman Hess
Old South Korean beliefs aND traditions ! This is not only fun, but the culture of an Asian country/people !They need 'RESPECT' for bringing upthe culture of Korean culture &civilization !💪🙏💚💜💚💜✌
you will see a German poem o jimin set me free part 2
I love your musical appreciation of all the song but Mic Drop was fun! I hear and see new things when I watch with others. So fun. Thanks!
glad you liked it. thank you
Now u need to watch the live perfermances of these 3 songs💜
I recommend fire and dna next these are the songs that got me into bts💜and kpop they are soo good
Fun fact Blood sweat and tears was filmed in Germany :)
🤞 FIRE 🤞next!
thank u for your nice reaction to bts 💜 masih ada banyak lagu lain yg bagus, i'am already to like your reaction video
welcome to the BTS rabbit hole 💜 i do hope you'll enter the Magic Shop too and enjoy the journey with the rest of the ARMY 💜
It will be a fun ride for sure
But what a nice guy! Thank you sir for your kind and respectful reaction 💜
So nice of you
@@NeonReactionsPierre 💜
Love your reactions! Towards the end, I just realized, don't know if it's just a coincidence, but these videos set you up pretty nicely to react to some of their end of year performances for each of these songs which are all AMAZING, if you thought their MVs were good, I can't wait for you to see their live performances because most people will say, and I agree, that they outdo themselves when they do it live
Idol MV u can watch BTS MV IDOL EXPLANATION/ MEANING AND REFERENCES u will surprised unexpected by it..they r very effort creative geniuses in everything thy do..every little thing they planned we cant expect there such meaningful behind
Jimin te amamos hermoso. Jikook x siempre juntos 💛🐣🐰💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Hi! I loved your reaction. Since other ARMYs already explained Blood, Sweat & Tears, I would like to tell you about IDOL. The song was released when BTS faced criticism for: "excessive use of green screen" and "singing only in English", which are both lies (there are behind-the-scenes videos where you can see the recordings if you are interested in that aspect like BS&T). So, they said: I Love Myself and decided to use a lot of green screen (because they can), use traditional Korean clothes as well as traditional instruments, they also made reference to various Korean dances such as Buchaechum (using a fan) and Pungmul (cartwheels). In addition to the occasional reference to things that the members were criticized for and which they now proudly embrace. (Sorry for my English, it is not my first language.)
Your English is very good :)
Thank you, your english is great!
Their lives performances for those songs gonna blow your mind... Is insane!
You should Watch the explanation videos for many of their songs, so you can understand! Everything has an explanation. Believe us, its a great rabbit hole!!
Hi here a 60 years old Mexican army, liking your reactions, you should watch jimin’s SET ME FREE part 2 video, I think there are some German words on it 💜💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜💜
Here are some recommendations!!🙌
If you are interested in seeing more of the choreography, you should check out some bts dance practices, i love watching them
if you wanna start from the very beginning and go in cronological order with their songs, their first two songs are “No More Dream” and “Bulletproof pt.2”
and if you wanna get a taste of their earlier songs, you DEFINITELY need to check out “Jump” and “Attack on Bangtan”
I hope you have fun traveling down the BTS rabbit hole💜
Thank you cecilia
I am loving your reactions! And I am so glad you are enjoying BTS! And the second MV is a bit strange lol. Idol is sort of a clap back to their haters who said they use a lot of green screen (which they didn’t). They were like, ok, you want green screen? We’ll give you green screen. 🤣 They also filled it with cultural references because people were saying they were becoming too westernized. The Rabbit in the Moon is a Korean folklore. 🙂

Great hits, the 3 songs. So different each one. It is true they are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get. Lots of references to Damian (The book by Hermann Hesse) in blood, sweat and tears.
Being a german we had to read that in school... but that was like 40 years ago.... I do have a big bookshelf behind me but haven't touched Hesse in many years..... maybe I should read that again...
@@NeonReactionsPierre indeed Hesse wrote some great stuff for young people. Fun fact: my mother owned a school (highschool) and it was called Hermann Hesse and the logo was a wolf, hahha. Great memories
Yes we do I'm also in Europe so the room just shout's late18 and early 19 century stately homes of the very rich and lesser royals. That painting in the background I think is called 'The Lamate of Icrus' due to his sin of pride as when he refused to heed his father's order not to fly too close to the sun. So his wings were distroyed by the sun and he crash back to earth.
Good old Europe 😊
Please react to 'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film : Come Prima by BTS.
Idol was an FU to haters they took any criticism they received and turned it up to 100 e.g. their vids being too colourful
I loved this reaction! It was so fun to watch!! Especially MIC Drop reminded me of how the first time I watched it and ended up watching it about 20 times straight because of how cool it was.
When I first watched Mic Drop I thought: how can a song be so creative?? It didn't stop too amaze me. I also said to myself: these guys don't do a bad song... I loved it to death, until now.... I always listen to the long version.
thank you very much. glad you liked it
